recovery, reimagined
When you hear the word recovery, you probably think of addiction or rock-bottom moments. But the truth is—we’re all recovering from something.
As humans, we’ve built coping mechanisms—numbing, overworking, shutting down—just to survive. And right now, those survival strategies are maxed out. The world feels unstable—socially, politically, economically, environmentally. Most of us are stuck in loops of anxiety or avoidance just to make it through the day.
Recovery offers another way. It’s how we move from survival to presence—from coping to living. It’s how we relearn how to be human—with integrity, compassion, and courage.
The Recovering Human takes the timeless wisdom of 12-step recovery—principles that have been helping people heal for decades—and reimagines them for anyone, anywhere. No dogma. No gatekeeping. Just tools to help you reconnect, regulate, and rebuild.
So you can stop just surviving—and start living, leading, and creating something better.
A Note From The Founder
Hi! I’m Rebecca. I’m an executive, a systems change practitioner, a certified coach, and a former journalist. I’m also an eldest daughter, a millennial, a friend, a fur mom, a partner, and an aunt.
During COVID, everything cracked open. I couldn’t keep it all together and turned to alcohol to get through. Eventually, I hit my breaking point, entered treatment, and began working a 12-step program. What I thought would be a last resort became a turning point — in my life and in my leadership.
Maybe you find yourself struggling too — not necessarily with addiction, but with the weight of coping with the world or leading through it. Maybe you’ve been saying, “This isn’t working.”
Here’s the truth: struggling doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means you’re paying attention. The world is heavy right now, and feeling that is the most human response there is.
That’s why I created The Recovering Human — to share the practices that helped me, and millions of others in recovery, find a way through. These are the same principles that have guided people for decades, reimagined for anyone to lean on.
Recovery offers another way forward. It helps us step out of survival mode — in life and at work — so we can start living, leading, and creating something better.
